Polar
Black and white. Dual forces that do not fight each other, but complement each other. Where there is light, there is also shadow. The paintings in this series were painted with only two shades. They captivate with an incredible dynamic. Power. Variety. The shades are an expression of the emotional nuances of my soul world.
Fearlessly, the inner is carried to the outside. The white Yang cannot exist without the black Yin.

Golden Lights
Goetz von Berlichingen is supposed to have said, “every light has its shadow.” As an artist, you take this premise for granted – after all, it came from Goethe’s feather. Then you begin to question it. You explore your inner self and try to discern the antonyms that define your existence. Where is the light in my life? Where is the shadow? In this art series, one deals with the eternal interplay of contrasts. Artistically, the beautiful, bright, golden sides of our existence are illuminated. The compositional focus is on the inherent spiritual light that shines radiantly to the outside and can warm the hearts of all. Nonetheless, within this colorful examination of the omnipresent opposing forces of life, essential significance is also accorded to the shadowy moments that give our lives a contrasting depth. “Golden Lights” reflects the interwoven play of light and shadow of our own being.

Human
Welcome! A word that covers much more than you might think at first glance. A world view that can be characterized by a positive basic attitude and a kind, decent behavior towards others that respects the dignity of human beings. Inspired by his grandmother’s story, which she shares in varying degrees with many millions of people worldwide, Schwien created an art series consisting of seven highly political works whose powerful and expressive content advocates an open, warm-hearted, diverse and philanthropic society. Judgment-free and enlightened opinions are meant to emerge, which the viewer may express with courage and justice in their hearts without fear of negative consequences. Multilayered, several key works of the artist were superimposed and combined into a collage that not only speaks out for a humane society, but also clearly positions itself against racism and discrimination. Here’s to all people having the right to live in a world where everyone is welcome!

These artworks reflect the interwoven play of light and shadow of our own being.

Painted Poetry
A chest in which two hearts beat – an artistic heart that wants to share itself with the world, filled with love, poetry and romantic moments, and a beating heart that gives us life and guides us to the end. The artistic heart finds joy in expression: be it deep, contrasting and emotional color compositions or single words that, taken together, develop a magical power that can be more beautiful than any crimson sunset surrounded by the melodic sounds of the ocean that adorns the evening’s calm sky. Art in the heart. Poetry in the heart. Two forms and yet so alike. This series unites color and word – bringing them together to create a symbiosis that should never be separated again. Each artwork is accompanied by a poem penned by the same artist, whose desire to return some love, positivity and gratitude to the world is manifested in these special, reciprocal creations.
Polar
In the dark twilight forest of feelings, a brightly shining plant grows up, whose radiant aura can spread out in the circle of light of warmth and security and which floods the clearing of consciousness with its all-embracing presence. The black of one’s own soul, which had to experience many depths and much pain, enters into an infinite symbiosis with the pure white full of love and peace, which also resounds full of sound and meaning in the bottomless universe of being. “Where there is light, there is also shadow” – a thought of Goethe, which carries a great truth, that most people are unaware of. Within these nuanced compositions, two hues, two sounds of the heart open up an inspiring torrent of emotion for the viewer to plunge into with a sense of desire. Two states that attract each other, that cannot exist without each other and that are inherent to all of us.

Mélodie Magique
It is rich and deep sounds that fill the opera hall with life at night. It is high tones and bright colors that make a symphony immortal. “Mélodie Magique” is a unique musical vibrational image of emotions that manages to transform the auditory perception of the recipient into a visual experience. This series can be understood as a cross-genre stroke of genius. The classical masterpieces of great composers such as Mozart, Beethoven or Verdi have influenced the genesis of “Mélodie Magique” as much as the artist’s most profound experiences and encounters. Not only the positive fair-weather clouds are depicted, which one can gaze at through rose-colored glasses. The flawed nature of one’s own existence is also reflected. How did Édith Piaf sing? Non, je ne regrette rien!
